@indivisibleteam Not a single Mastodon account? Really? I mean, granted, it’s not your fault that they lack a well-known relay method, but still, you could at least have included the biggest of the ActivityPub platforms, no? (Mastodon.Social).

@ByronCinNZ Not only do software devs lack measurement techniques, but they actively resist them. This makes judgement of languages, tools, and methods purely subjective. Much like the author's discussion of JavaScript vs Typescript. Of course, erring on the side of free software is preferred.
